[The Futurist]

Who is now the king of the A listers? Leo, RDJ, Depo? Curious what we think from the summer results right now

 

Kevin Feige, he is big with the ladies I heard.

[ecstasy]

Leo. RDJ has yet to have big success with an original property like Leo did with Inception. Depp is just going through the motions at this point.

 

I think the cult of Nolan had as much to do with that success as Leo did. That's just my opinion though.

[GiantCALBears]

I think those three are currently the highest paid per project, Depp is going through the motions I agree

No way in hell. Nolan does not have that big of a fanbase. Don't be fooled by the number of idiots that talk about him on the Internet. General audience doesn't even know who he is.

Kevin Feige, he is big with the ladies I heard.

 

 

The ladies and the fellas can all get it, Feige doesn't discriminate

[Michael Gary Scott]

For the record yes I did lose a bet I still love Anna

[Jack Nevada]

I have no respect for Johnny Depp at this point. 

[Impact]

If people went by the directors names of who the most known is........

Lincoln would have debuted to 60M by that logic?

Who beat you?

Um I think Nolan has a huge fanbase that follows him from movie to movie.

Who????

Who beat you?

I don't think so. If that was the case, explain why the Prestige didn't make very much. Inception's success was a combination of Leo's name, "from the director of The Dark Knight," and a great film that had incredible WOM. Nolan's name itself had very little to do with it.

Sorry, but this is nonsense. EVERYONE my age (just out of college) knows who he is after TDK/Inception. Pseudo intellectual fratboys would have day long discussions about the depth of Inception.

This sounds like an oxymoron.

Because Prestige came out before TDK/Inception/TDKR. Nolan of today is pretty famous, Nolan of 2006 not so much

[Orestes]

This sounds like an oxymoron. 

 

Nah, the Pseudo part makes sure its not.

I think it was a combination of both Leo's name and Nolan's fanbase. I didn't say Leo didn't have anything to do with the success. It was a combination of both.
